“Your time is running out, white man,’ black student protestors snarled at Afrikaner students at the University of Pretoria…

September 18 2009 -- A journalist who was covering the so-called “electioneering’ campaign at the traditionally Afrikaner-University of Pretoria on Sept 8 , writes that a sizeable group of black pro-ANC student protestors, united in an organisation called the “Student Front’ , had rapidly become a bullying mob after they arrived for their planned ‘protest march’. The white students at one stage even forced a peaceful ‘human chain’ together to stop the black students from destroying campus property.

These black students were shouting verbal abuse at all the whites they saw on campus, threatened to stab the Afrikaner students, told all the Afrikaners – whose forebears arrived 350 years earlier -- to ‘get out of the country, you don’t belong here,’ and rampaged all over campus, destroying voting boxes, attacking polling stations for the Student Representative Council elections and assaulting campus security officials. This ‘peaceful protest action’ by the Student Front was put to an end by campus security when an Afrikaner female student was thrown with a rock hurled from the Student Front mob and matters got out of hand very quickly after that, the journalist reports.

Charl Oberholzer, the Freedom Front Plus party’s youth leader on campus, said in view of this peaceful resistance shown by the Afrikaner students towards the bullying black mob, it therefore ws ‘ironic’ that university authorities had obtained an interdict against the Afrikaner student groups ‘to try and stop us from interfering in the security measures on campus’.

He pointed out that if the Afrikaner students hadn’t formed their human chain, many more campus buildings would have been targetted by the violent, destructive group of black protestors. Student dean Professor Speckman, asked to comment, said ‘no punitive action has been taken thus far’. The Afrikaner students have launched formal counter-charges, accusing the Student Front leadership and its members of outragiously racist behaviour towards the whites, amongst others lodging formal objections to the use of any Afrikaans in the campus paper the Perdeby and with the SF also accusing the university of “having too many white people working at the University’s security offices’.

The journalist reports that black protestors also were hurling grossly-racist insults at the Afrikaners, such as ‘this is our country and you don’t belong here,’ and even uttered threats of violence, such as ‘I am going to stab you with a knife in the ass, that is what I’m going to do, your time is running out white man’… The Freedom Front Plus youth leader demanded that the campus security authorities produce the campus security tapes which showed this violent behaviour by the SF’s protestors – but which tapes have somehow, ‘mysteriously disappeared’.

“This aggressive and racist behaviour by the SF does not solve anything – instead it only creates a climate for revolution, ‘ Oberholzer was quoted as saying. “The FF plus calls on the Student-Front to become part of the solution, by participating in discussions to create win-win solutions which would be to the advantage of all the students on campus and the university itself.’

Amongst the other racist chants heard during the two-weeks of electioneering for the SRC other slogans which also stood out from the crowd were the ones where chanted and shouted: ‘all whites are racists’ -- together with ‘all racists should be barred”.

Afrikaans students also reported widespread intimidation targetting them by these demonstrators over a two-week period -- creating a very unsafe atmosphere on campus.

Many Afrikaans students said that they feared being on campus, and feared having to go and cast their vote amidst this deeply threatening atmosphere targetting the white students.

Police just waiting for white students to do something wrong…

It was also that the SA Police contingent - which showed up in large numbers during the SF protests – provided no protection for the Afrikaans students at all, and when questioned by the students, told the youngsters that ‘the police were just waiting for the white students to do something wrong before they would intervene’.

Dr Alan Boesak: ‘farm murders are a burning question for all South Africans…’

September 18 2009 -- A South African radio station has set a world-record yesterday -- having the names and the often harrowing details of the last moments of 1,650 rural murder victims read out over the air in one solid 8-hour broadcasting session.

Trade Union Solidarity spokesman Flip Buys – which runs the radio station http://www.solidariteitradio.co.za – said they would have needed at least two more days to read all the known names of victims. More than 3,080 farm-dwellers have already been murdered in the politically-motivated rural murder-siege targetting white families since 1991 and tens of thousands of families have been attacked. view our regularly-updated name list

Well-known SA political personalities such as world-famous liberation-theologian Dr Alan Boesak and South African TV actress Shaleen Surtie-Richards read name-lists over the air. together with many well-known Afrikaner leaders, and even family members of farm-murder victims.

Dr Boesak read list of farm-murder victims’ names:

Dr Boesak said at the start of launching into his list of names, that these farm murders are ‘a burning question which is important to all South Africans.

Boesak, (left): “Whenever crime strikes one remote farm family, it also strikes at all of us. The danger to which one person is exposed, also poses a threat to any other South African. If specific groups of people are seen as targets which can be attacked without punishment, it also means that we, all of us South Africans, have also failed in caring for each other.’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Boesak

Others who read name lists were veteran actor Marius Weyers of ‘The Gods Must be Crazy’ fame, the hugely popular Afrikaner singer Bok van Blerkof De Wet’ song fame, actress Brumilda van Rensburg, Afrikaner parliamentarians Jan Els, M D Greyling,Dr Pieter Mulder; -- singer Gerrie Pretorius, farm-attack victim Ghapi, singers Mel Botes and Elizma Theron; Chris van Zyl of the Transvaal Agricultural Union; Flip Buys of Solidarity trade union; Kallie Kriel of the civil rights movement AfriForum; and Danie Langner of the union’s Helping Hand charity organisation which helps the more than 800,000 homeless, unemployable Afrikaners in their struggle to survive in an economy where they are being denied all access to the job market. Names were also read by Afrikaner cultural leader Danie Goosen of the Federation of Afrikaans Cultural organisations. (FAK).

Before the start of the day-long broadcast, listeners had received emails warning them that this broadcast would be very emotional for many relatives of farm-murder victims. And indeed this turned out to be the case, with even professional radio-broadcasters clearly heard choking back tears as they described the details of the murders of so so many defenceless rural people on the air yesterday. http://www.solidariteitradio.co.za

Deeply emotional day for thousands of traumatised family members:

The radio station’s server was jammed within just minutes after the start of the broadcast at 8am, with listeners from throughout South Africa and at least 45 other countries logging in to listen, said Solidary trade union spokesmen, the controllers of the radio station. In fact they got such a rapid overload that South Africa’s country’s slow-speed lines couldn’t handle the sudden strain, and their technicians had to hurriedly jerry-rig extra servers to manage the sudden peak in internet traffic.

Radio Solidarity spokesmen noted that more than one-million South Africans, mostly white Afrikaans-speakers, have already emigrated from the country, mainly due to this violence-driven crime epidemic targetting them and their families. And many of these exiles logged in throughout Thursday from at least 45 countries, ranging from China, Australia, New Zealand and every country in Europe, they said, to listen to the live and often very moving day-long broadcast; also, hundreds of emails streamed in, listing the names of their murdered relatives which the listeners also wanted read on the air.

“It was like a day of mourning, a kind of emotional cleansing, as these facts have never all been heard together in such a single broadcast before,’’ said Solidarity spokesman

One of the readers, a realtive of farm-murder victim Piet Honeyborne on April 30 2009, (right) burst into tears as she read the details of the gruesome way in which he was attacked. She said the surviving family also had to leave their crash-crop farm because they feared to return after the murder, and their workers thus also were left without any housing or income.

There are so many names of rural murder victims in South Africa -- more than 3,080 – that the station would have needed at least two days, but probably more, to describe all the known murders on the air. However, they limited their list to reading them out for only one day - 1,650 names. It took them eight hours and it provided some very harrowing listening.

Some of the known names (many were never published) also were duplicated on a number of lists circulating on the internet, and the TLU spent a long time analysing and verifying all these records. Their name-lists read on the air yesterday also included non-deadly attacks and - related attacks on farm-workers.

Most farm murders NOT ‘carried out by disgruntled workers..’ contrary to ANC-propaganda…

Among the facts which Solidarity read out on the air yesterday was that in the ten years up to 2006, about 2,017 people were murdered on commercial farms – and of these attacks, only 2,8% were carried out by farm workers -- contrary to the ANC-propaganda. By the end of August 2009, our records show that at least 3,080 farm dwellers were murdered: thus over the past three years, there has been a dramatic increase in the deadly force used in these attacks. According to the database maintained by the Transvaal Agricultural Union, 64% percent of all the attacks between 1993 and 2009 resulted in murder. Solidarity union spokesmen say that the extent of the murder-attacks on rural farm dwellers now has become so vast that it will take at least eight hours just to read out 1,650 of the names – while more than 3,000 farm murders having been carried out since 1991.

About 25% of the farm murders also included violence against farm workers and their families, Solidarity noted, and 70% of all the victims were farm-owners.

According to Statistics SA, commercial farmers hire an average of 22 farm workers (permanent and seasonal). This means that due to these murders, some 31,000 farm workers have lost their jobs and housing– and that statistic does not include the loss of income for their families and dependants.

Flip Buys of Solidarity trade union has also rounded on recent public statements by a leading Afrikaner theologian Dr. Nico Smith, who has been warning that ‘whites must shut up, they must stop criticising the ANC-government, because they are bringing down the vengeance of black people onto their heads and this could cause mass slaughter (of whites’).

This startling statement has drawn criticism from the trade union leader – who says that ‘of course it bothers him if white people just moan without trying to undertake anything themselves to improve matters. That is a destructive reaction to our societal collapse which we see all around outselves. And this destructive reaction s worsened by the alienation and exclusion from mainstream society which white people are undergoing in SA right now.

Criticism is the oxygen of democracy:

“However, it’s important to note such criticism is the oxygen of democracy – which by the way is a system designed to give room for people to disagree with one another, not to agree about everything,’ he writes in Solidarity’s daily newsletter.

“And it’s also wishful thinking (if whites believe) that history will repair the historic accident of 1994. However, to expect white people to remain silent as they are forced to watch the African National Congress regime turn this first-world state, which was in perfect working order, into a multi-million Rand deficit-fiasco within just 15 years – using our taxpayers’ money, the ANCunder 15 years of Mbeki misrule has ‘transformed and remodernised’ South Africa into a failing, criminal state which has massive problems’.

Buys writes: “On the contrary, Smith’s view that white people should remain quiet about this, that they should ‘migrate inwards’, is an extraordinarily undemocratic viewpoint which does not belong in a constitutional democracy.

“One cannot expect any group in the world to only sit around and pay their taxes silently, without expecting any kind of returns from this tax money -- nor even have any kind of say about the way their taxes are being used.’ http://www.solidaritysa.co.za/Tuis/wmview.php?ArtID=2699

When does the widow of an on-duty policeman who died in a car-crash -- directly caused by the smugglers inside an abalone-truck the police were keeping under surveillance -- get to qualify for death-benefits?

Is this about race; about keeping the official death-rate statistics of South African policemen as low as possible? Or a little bit of both?

2009-09-06 Alet Rademeyer of Beeld newspaper reports:

Sept 7 2009 – PRETORIA. The SA Police Service claims that 105 police officers were ‘murdered’ countrywide during the 2008 book year between March 2008 and March 2009.

These policemen’s surviving relatives also are the only ones to receive the government’s one-time death-benefit payouts of R200,000.

However the relatives of other policemen who also died while on duty in other ways -- such as the widow of Inspector Ryno van Tonder, 37, whose husband was run down while he was on duty to investigate a crime in June last year, gets nothing at all.

Not getting benefits:

His widow, Mrs Sunett van Tonder, told Beeld newspaper yesterday during the annual memorial service for policemen who had died from March last year to March this year, that she was still struggling to get the government to admit that he was killed while on duty, and that her family would thus also be entitled to these benefits. He was listed on the official Roll of Honour on the SAPS website: http://www.saps.gov.za/saps_profile/honour/Roll_of_Honour_-_updated.doc

She had lready spoken to the news media before about this problem, in an article published on Nov 23 2008 by Rapport journalist Marenet Jordaan . The two police detectives had died together while they were investigating an organised crime unit which smuggles abalone from South Africa: a large abalone-smuggling truck had run over their police car while the detectives were observing a suspect site. The widow points out that the men were on active duty - however the SAPS has now also turned down her second request to pay the R200,000 death-benefit payouts to the widow and the four orphans because the two Afrikaner cops " had died in a traffic accident.'A ‘traffic accident’ however which was caused by the very abalone-smugglers the policemen had kept under surveillance at the time. Police commissioner Khomotso Phahlane was moreover, coldly unapologetic when confirming that the widow’s claim had been turned down. He says 'there's a difference between a policeman who dies on duty, and one who dies in the line of duty...' Phahlane also said back then that 'his committee was under no obligations of having to communicate with Mrs Van Tonder.' http://www.news24.com/Rapport/Suid-Afrika/0,,752-2460_2431021,00.html

Bitter day for me:

Mrs Van Tonder spoke up again about the denial of her death-benefit rights at the SA Police Service ’s memorial day for all the police officers who had died last year. Mrs Van Tonder, supported by family, friends and colleagues of her late husband, was present with the couple’s triplets Henrico, Reghardt en Mijanca (2) en their older sister Thenika (4).

She said the memorial day ‘is a bitter day for me. I have been waging a hopeless battle to get the police to pay out the death-benefits of R200,000,’ she said.

Her husband and a colleague, Captain Hendrik Cronjé, were killed in June last year in a car-crash on the N1-highway 10km outside Kroonstad while they were on duty investigating a crime for which they had to travel from Pretoria to Bloemfontein. The police authorities however refuse to pay out, claiming that ‘there’s a difference between a policeman who dies on duty, and one who died while engaged in his work”.

Mrs van Tonder said that as far as she was concerned, the memorial service ‘was just another reception for the police. It means nothing to them. I am present today to commemorate the fact that my husband had given his life while on duty, while working for the police service.’

Another family who was present commemorated inspector Lukas Nell, 34, Fifteen-year-old Nikita said: “My dad wasn’t a hero, he was THE hero. He wasn’t just another policeman, he was THE policeman.’ Karen Nell, his mother, said it’s a heartsore day for her. It’s not a place where you want to see your child’s name. I still have another son in the police and I live in fear for him every day.” Nell was shot in June last year while chasing a suspect in a patrol car, and died of his injuries in hospital. He leaves three children, including Nikita, Marnus, 6, and Marnu, 5.

Please note that my site with the PAST SEVEN YEARS' information on atrocities against white South Africas, was hacked away. It used to be on https://www.censorbugbear.org. I apologize that this information is no longer available online. Anyone needing information about specific cases please email me at a.j.stuijt@knid.nl

The term "genocide" was coined by legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in 1943, writing:

'Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actionsaiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of personal security, liberty, health, dignity and lives of the members of such groups...
